. Referring to Figs. l to 8 inclusive, the numeral designates a cylindrical supply tank, usually made of heavy block 'tin' of such dimensions asto contain'a considerable quantity of the article to be dispensed.

At the ktop is a'cover 2l havingfan intaken reaching centeringplug 22 held to the cover byv screws 23.'v 4

. Movable in the tank is a conical plunger 24, its concave surface being presented downwardly. It is secured by nuts`26vto the lower end of a tube 9.5, screw-threaded on its exterior surfaces. Y y

This tube -extends'axiallyup through a sleeve 27 f threaded internally and` which is rotatably niounted'in the plug 22, the sleeve being confined in. the .plug rby a. :circular nut 28, below which is a bearing washer 29. Sleeve 27 is provided at its lower end with a spur gear 107 adapted to mesh with a mating gear 108 fixed on the end of a spindle 109, likewise rotatably mounted in the plug 22 and extending upward through the cover 21. Thus rotation of the spindle 109 will cause the sleeve 27 to rotate in the plug 22. The tube 25, being prevented from rotation by means hereinafter described, Will thereby, on account of its screw connection with the plug 27 be caused to move longitudinally, proper rotation of the gears causing the tube 25 and conical plunger 24 to move downwardly and to force the Whipped cream or other material upwardly through the center of the tube 25.

The upper end of the tube 25 extends into a tube 34, and is slidably mounted in same.

The means adapted to prevent rotation of the tube 25 consists of a hub 30 formed on the cover 21 which is internally threaded t0 receive a non-rotatable bushing 31, held in position by a thimble cap 32, which also engages a flange 33 formed on the tube 34 into which the tube 25 extends as aforesaid, said tube having a longitudinal slot or key-way 35 into which enters the point of the screw 36, set in the non-rotatable bushing 31 and acting as a key to prevent the rotation of the tube 25, which is, however, left free to move longitudinally.

The fixed outer tube extends straight up above the tank to its balde end 37 where it is joined by another tube 38 of similar diameter, the joint between the tubes being made by an enclosing collar 39 provide-d with set screws 40 impinging one on each of the tubes.

The tube 38 forms a semicircular curve 41 leading to a straight, oppositely-disposed length 42 running downwardly parallel with the tube 34.

A cylindrical shell or casing having a cap portion 45 at its upper end and a similar cover 46 at its lower end is rotatabl mounted on the extension by means of all bearings 43. This bearing is held in position by a nut 47 threaded internally of the shell.

Passing through the lower cover 46 is a sleeve 48 having a key 49 to prevent its rotation. The upper end of the sleeve is provided with an annular flange 50. A spirally-coiled pressure spring 51 encircles t e sleeve 48, its ends abutting the bottom cover 46 and the flange 50 respectively, tending to press the sleeve upwardly into the casing.

Engaged on the lower extending end of the sleeve 48 is a head 52, its lower reduced portion having engaged a knurled coupling 53, by which is secured a conical dispensing spout 54.

The interior of the spout 54 forms a seat for a ball valve This valve is provided with a thin stem 56, held centrally in the tube 42 by a guide 57. The stem 56 is pressed downwardly by an encircling spring 58 confined by a collar The upper end of the stem 56 passes through a boss 60 on the curved portion of the tube 42 and is limited in its downward movement by a collar 61 on the extending end of the stem.

From the foregoing, it will be understood that there is provided a dispensing spout mounted with a rotatable casing 44.

During the dispensing operation by means more particularly described hereinafter, the casing 44 and dispensing spout 54 are given a rotary motion, thereby imparting a whirling motion to the whipped cream or other material Vas it is dispensed through the spout. The spout opening normally is closed by the valve 55, since the spout is forced upwardly by means of spring 51 and against the ball which is held fixedly in position by its stem. The normal condition of the closure of the spout is observable in Fig. 2, while Fig. 1 shows the same in dispensing position.

The means for opening and closing the spout at the proper time before, during and at the close of the dispensing operation are provided for as follows. Between the head 52 of the spout and the cover 46 is a space into which project pins 62, diametrically opposed and set in a fork 63, the Shanks of which are pivoted on screws 64 set in a collar 65 fixed on the tube standard The pins 62 are located above the head 52, and, actuated by the fork 63, are adapted to press down the head 52 and thereby remove the ball valve 55 from its setting in the spout 54.

The fork 63 is in turn actuated by means of a bolt 66 and a pair of spacers 67 having between them the upper end of a twisted link 68. This upper end is pivoted on the bolt, and the lower end is connected by a pivot 69 to one arm 70 of a bell-crank lever. This lever is pivoted by a screw 71 to one end of a spindle 72 fixed transversely in the upper end of a post 7 3 set in cover 21 and secured by lock nut 74 rigidly thereto.

The other arm 7 0 of the bell-crank lever 70 is connected by a pivot 87 with an arm 88 having a slot 89 through which passes a shoulder screw 90 fixed in a clamp collar 91 adjustable on the standard tube 34. Formed on the arm 88 is an extension 92 presenting an arcuate member.

A flat link 76 is loosely mounted adjacent the bell-crank lever 70 on spindle 71, and separated from the lever 70 by a washer 75. Flat link 76 is provided with an elongated slot 77 which slidably engages the spindle 72. The link 76 extends transversely across the apparatus to a pivotal connection 78 with a downwardly extending arm 79 formed on a release shell S0. Said shell is positioned over the operating handle 81 and pivoted to it by. a bolt S2. `The link '76 is also provided pressed, the link 76 willr be moved inwardly, slidingon spindle 72, causing the pin 93 topress against the arm extension 92, conveying motion to the bell-crank lever and causing the arm 7 0 of that lever to move downwardly, thereby causing through the twisted link 63 the arms of the orkl to move downwardly. The arms of the fork 63 being in engagement with the top of the head 52 of the spout 54- willv cause that member to move downwardly, clearing the valve and opening the passage through the tube, so thatthe material may be discharged or dispensed. Howevennponthe release of the shell 80, the spring 51 will immediately and directly cause the head 52 and-'the spout 54.1 to move upwardly, thus positively closing the opening by means or the ball valvel 55 and sharply cutting oflz the stream of material. This is desirable to prevent the materialtfrom continuing to string from the nozzle. y 1 v ln order to prevent premature' closing of the spout, movement-otl the bell-crank lever f- E b r ,1 -n/ b 4. y, (01s iestrainec. y its arm 1U eing inteiceptedfby a catch 94 pivote-d on a pin 95 set in a block 96V held by a set screw 97 to the post 73. The block 96is slotted on one side to receive the catch, which normally is pressed outward into engaging position by a'spring 98 (see Fig. 8) ,and extending from the block is a rigid arm 99 carrying a pivot 100 acting as ay `fulcrum for a double-ended lever, oneV ci .its arms 101 having.. `a pin r102 .disposed to-make contact withthe shorter end of the catch 94, caussecured ina thin plate lever 105, said lever being Vpivoted on screw 82 and having in its depending end a linger-receiving loopl 106, easily accessible'to the lingers 4of an operator grasping` the operating Vhandle S0 and e the handleshell 81 in actuating. the apparatus; Y

` Thus the lever is restrained Jfrom action and-the spout is kept open until the catch onl the lever arm 70. is released by the operation of the rod` 1011 bythe operator through the linger. loop 106 when the spring V5,1 Vcauses the valve to besharply. closed, cutting the ,streamoi material. Until desired, the valve is thereby keptv delinitely open. Itis therefore unnecessary for the operator to keep the shell so depressed .while operating the handle'.V

The operating handle or lever 81; of the apparatus is mounted on a stem 83 rigidly secured in a block'Sl fixed between a pair of flatA bars-85.disposed one on` each sident the tube Maand. pivoted at their opposite ends on the spindle 7 f2, where Atheyare held in position by the spindle'head 86 and parts clampedby the SQCIGW`71'. r

The operation of. the handle 81 in turn operatesmeans bothy for depressing the coni-1 cal plunger 24; and thereby forcing material from the supply tank through the dispensing spout, but also to cause the dispensing spout itself to receive a rotary motion, there-A` by imparting la twirling-y to the whipped cream or otherinaterial as it is dispensed from the spout. `Both of these objects are accomplished bythe following mechanism.

The sleeve 27rotatably mounted in. the plug 22](seey Fig. 3) has, as stated, at its` lower end, a spur` gear 107 meshing with which is a matinggear 108 fixed on the endr of a `spindle 109, rotatable in the plug 22 and extending .throughthe cover 21. The spindle 109 has at the upper side ofthe cover 21 at its upper end a collar 110 seated on an anti-friction bearing 111 such ball bearing resting on the cover 21. Above the; collar is a knurled section 112 by which the spindle maybe conveniently grasped for holding or turning. .A stop member 113 is adjustably clamped to the tube 341 by a set screw 114 and, limitsV the movement. of the. handle 81, and thereby determines con-r veniently and precisely the. amount of material delivered through the nozzle. kThe spindle 109 extends upwardly and passes between thearms Vof the rblock 85 holding theroperating handle 81, and is mounted yat the top through la reduced extension in bearing 117 adjustably clamped to the upper part of the standard 34. i

The spindle 109 vis formed with coarse helical grooves 121 arranged respectively right` and left hand, and intersecting each other in a manner well` understood and shown in the drawings.v Slidably mounted on the spindle is aknurled sleeve 122 havingy reversible engaging elements of a type well lknownzin, `the-art` to connect with either of the grooves and being provided with a head 1231romrwhich extend lateral pins 124. engaging in .slots 125 formed in the handle-supportingbars of the block 85.

A Thus,when the handle 81 isr lowered, the sleeve 122 vwill communicate rotary motion to the spindle, and the direction or" such motion may be changed by properly manipulati'ng the sleeve 122.V The rotary motion of the spindle 1,09 is .communicated through mating' gear 108^to the meshing gear 107 and the rotatable gear sleeve 27. rlhe rotationnof rthis last-mentioned sleeve `causes, '1

through.theconnection of the screw threads, the tube 25 to move longitudinally, and when .properly adjusted causes the tubev 25 and the conical plunger v24 to move downwardlyr in the :suppl-y tank, forcing the whipped cream or other material upwardly throu h the tube and other tubes 34 and 41 an through the dispensing spout.

The whipped cream or other material having been placed in the supply tank, and it beln desired to deliver a certain amount of t e material through the dispensing spout, the operator will release the catch from the bell-crank lever by using the finger loop 106, and will then open the nozzle or dispensing spout by operation of the handle shell 80. Then the operating handle 81 will be depressed until stopped by the limiting member 113. The correct amount of material will thereby be delivered from the nozzle. At the conclusion of the dispensing operation, the operator will release the handle shell and the spout will thereby be positively closed, sharply cutting 0H the stream of material and preventing strings of material from hanging from the spout.

It has been found desirable that whipped cream be delivered from the spout with a twirling motion. This is accomplished in our apparatus by providing at the upper end of the spindle 109 a sleeve 115 through which the spindle extends. The sleeve is adapted to rotate with the spindle. A chain sprocket pinion 118 is fixed on the sleeve 115, and over it is trained a chain 119 communicating motion to a sprocket 120 fixed on the eylindrical casing 44, above the lower cover 46 in such manner that, when the spindle 109 is rotated, the casing 44 and therewith the spout 54 will revolve, imparting a twirling motion to the material as dispensed vfrom the spout.

In the modified form of dispenser shown in Figs. 9, 10 and 11, a supply tank 150 is supported on legs 151 adapted to rest on the fioor. The tank is provided with an encircling easing 152, presenting an annular space 153 therebetween for holding ice. A drain cock 154 is provided at the bottom.

The bottom 155 of the tank 150 is formed preferably conically shaped, and partially projects through the bottom wall 156 of the outer casing. The casing is provided with an annular cover 157, flanged at its edge to engage the wall of the casing. A separate cover 158 is provided for the tank 150, having a down-turned fiange to engage internally of the tank.

In the tank is located a plunger 159, rigidly held on the lower end oi' a cylindrical bar 160 mounted to move axially within the boss 161 formed on a bracket 162. The bar 160 is provided with a key-way 168 which is adapted to be engaged by a screw 164 set in the boss l161, thus preventing rotation of the bar or plunger.

The upper end of the bar of the plunger is screw-threaded to engage in the hub of' a bevel gear 165, the hub being held by a detent 166 through an annular groove on its surface, the detent being fastened to the cover 158. A spindle 167 is mounted in a horizontal plane in the upper portion of the bracket 162, the spindle having at its inner end a bevel pinion 168 meshing with the gear 165, and at the outer end a` similar bevel pinion 169 meshing with the gear 170 on the extreme upper end oi' a vertical spindle 171.

The spindle 171 is mounted at its upper end in a bearing 172 carried by a bracket 173, the bracket being fastened to the casing 152 by its vertical portion 174. The bracket is provided with a similar horizontal extension 175 at its lower end, in which the spindle 171 is indirectly engaged. Rearward of the spindle 171 is a post 176 rigidly supported by the bracket elements 173 and having attached a block 177. A pair of' handle bars 178 are pivoted to the upper end of the block 177 and have between them at their outer ends a block 179 carrying a stem 180 extending from a handle 181.

The spindle 171, as in the previous structure, is provided with helically-arranged grooves 188. Surrounding the spindle 171, below the handle bars 180, is placed a knurled sleeve having reversible engaging elements to connect with either of the grooves. The sleeve is designed to be operated by the handle bars 180.

It is to be understood from the foregoing description that, as in the preceding structure, the operation of the handle 181 will cause spindle 171 to rotate and through the bevel gears 169, 168 cause the plunger 159 to move longitudinally in the supply tank, and, when properly directed, will cause the plunger to tend to force the material in the tank out through the head portion and spout located at the bottom of the tank.

Mounted by pivot screws 182 on the handle is a lever shell 183, held normally raised by a spring 184 and having a depending arm 185 pivoted at 186 to an offset link 187 which engages a bar 188 which is compelled to move in a plane parallel io the axis of the apparatus by reason of a pair ot' links 189 pivoted at their respective ends to the bar 188 and in extending lugs in the fixed bar 174.

The lower end of the bar 188 is outturned to form an angle 190 to engage a pin 191 fixed in the end of a curved lever 192 which is pivoted on a pin 193 fixed in a support 194. The curved lever 192 extends inwardly and carries at its inner end a pin 195.

The construction of the dispensing head is identical with that previously described, except that it is located centrally below the tank 150. The pins 195 operate through the levers described to cause the head and spout to be forced downwardly opening the valve as in the previous structure.

0n fthe` bottom ofthe spindle 171 is a sprocket wheel 196 driving aV chain 197 trained over a similar sprocket 198 fixed in the dispensing head cylinder. As before, the construction of the head'is rotatable.4

It will be understood that, upon operation of the handle 183,1hev dispensing head' is forced downwardly and the valve opened. At the same time, if the handle 181 isoperated, the material will be forced through the `dispensing head and delivered from the spout.y Atthe same time, the rotation of the spindle 171 will cause the head to be rotated vand the material as delivered will beigiven a twirlingk motion.. f

. A further modiiication of the device is yshown in Figs.V 12 to 15 inclusive, in which the lower portion of Fig; 14'1illustrates a container comprising atank 20, a cover 21 and a centering lplug 22. The plunger 24 is fixed on ja tube k25 rwhich, extends upwardly throughthe plug 22 and the cover 21. A hub 30 formed on the cover 21 is internally threaded to receivea bushing 31the same being held in position by a thimble cap 32, which also engages a flange 33 formedr on a tube 34 into which the 'tube 25 extends. Tube 25 is freefto move longitudinally. n

u Secured'in bosses 2.00, vformed on theupper `surface of the plunger k'24, `are a pair of v vertical plunger bars 201 disposed in parallel and slidably engaged in `4aligned Vopenings through the centeringplug 22 andthe cover 21. j. 1 i kRigidly secured at their ends are toothed bars 20,2 engageable with pawls l203, held yby pivot pins 204 passing through forked elements integral with a collarv 205 slidably mounted on the tube 34.` f

vFlat springsA 206, fixed Vin the collar; 205,

` actto ycompel engagement betweenthe pawls extension '208,l held .in

203 and the ratchet toothed'bars 202. Y

YMeans vfor'initiallyV operating the device comprises a handle 207 having a cylindrical a spacing block 209, by a set screw`210. v

Fixed to the ends ofthe block 210fare a 'pair of rectangular bars 211, connectedat their free'ends by aspacing block' r 212, having a slotted 'element 213` adaptednto, hingedly engage the liattened end of Va fulcrum rod 214, by the hinge pin 215, theV fulcrum "rod 214 'beinglsecured to the cover, 21 by suitable' nuts 215. A Y

Formed through the sides of the bars 211 are elongated openings for receiving trunlnion pins 216, fixedy ondiametrically opposite sidesof. the collar 205, thus permitting :a vertical reciprocating movement of the collar 205 when the handle is operated.

Removably engaging the upper end of the `tube 34y is avsemicircula-r curved tube 41, `held in engagement with the tube 34 by a collar, or sleeve 39 fastenedby set screws 40.

A dispensing unit, comprising a cylindrical-casing 217 and anozzle 218, is rotatably securedto the return end of the curved tube member 41, and screw-threaded to the` upper end of the dispensing unit casing is a cover 219 having a short extension 2,20 and'a flanged end 221, forming a spool or reel on which a cord 222v is wound.

e The'free end of the cord is carried over a pulley 223, rotatably held by the shoulder screw 224, engaged with a lug 225 integral tainingpin 229 fixed in the tube 41.V

Thus it will be seen that, as the handle 207 is pressed down, the collar 205 is also moved in ka similar direction, and the cord 222 pullingagainst the action of the spiral spring 227 causes the dispensing-unit to rotate about VVVthe tube 41.'

Vhen the handle 207 is returned tonormal position, the tension of the spring 227 causes the dispensing unit to rotate inthe opposite direction and rewindsl the cord upon the reel220.y Y v A kvtubular stop4 228, slidable on the tube 34 and fixed to the collar 205, abuts avcollar 229y adjustablyheld on the tube 34 by a set screw 230. n

To` prevent any tendency of the collar 205 turning on the tube 34, a key 231 is xed tothe tube 34. y l f kThe purpose of thesestops is to determine the arnountof material ejected at the nozzle. Attimes it may bedesired to release the Vpawls from engagement with the ratchet bars, and pins 232 secured to the pawls are provided for manual disengagement. a To force ymaterial from thetank 20, the

handle 207 is forced down, and the collar -205carrying the pa'wls 203 and the tubular stop 5228 ismoved in like direction,l until the stops 228,land 229 abut and the .pawls 203 by engagement with the bars 201V have caused a correspondingdownward compressive movement of the plunger 24, thus `initially causing the material to be forced upward into the tube 25. As the handle 207 is raised and the associated parts followingl in similar direction, thepawls are reengaged withV the 'ratchets above the point of first engagement, thus completing the cycle of operation, repetitions of which produce further compression of material and cause fur .ther upflow through the tubes 34, 41V, and

through the dispensing head and nozzle 218.

To ensure a free delivery of material from' the nozzle, a rotary motion of the 'dispensing head is desirable, and means for the ac- Ti complishment of this movement has been previously described in this specication.

It is to be understood that, if desired, the nozzle 218 and supporting head may be constructed as in the previous modifications and rovided with a valve normally closed whic may be adapted to be opened by a series of levers operated by a shell on the handle 9.07 as described in connection with the other modifications, or another form of valve may be substituted.
